1 Timothy 5:1-7
-
1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
-
2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
-
3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
-
4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
-
5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
-
6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
-
7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
